#I didn't get a chance to use many of Smiler's powers in this episode

[victorluvsalice]

We have made it to Winter Tuesday in The Chill Save with Smiler Always -- and the post-Werewolves pack era! New world, new occult, and some new things for Smiler to do -- like, say, see how werewolves react to a nonbinary vampire who has EVERY POSSIBLE BONUS TOWARD MAKING FRIENDS I CAN THINK OF (Incredibly Friendly trait, maxed Charisma, and a Pristine Reputation).

First things first, though -- Smiler had a few tasks to take care of back at theirs. Like flying around the neighborhood as a bat, getting in video game time in random places, because the game started me on a New Moon, and that meant automatic Vampire Energy regen whenever Smiler used their powers! Nice~ There was also the usual round of doing homework and harvesting their little garden, and then a shower because gotta keep clean. And then FIXING the shower because it broke right after they finished. Ah well, Smiler’s SUPPOSED to be learning Handiness this semester, sooo. . . Oh, and having an Erratic conversation with their pictures with their favorite people. :) Once that was all done, though, and they’d gotten through their only class of the day, it was off to Moonwood Mill!

The incredibly snowy Moonwood Mill! Wasn’t quite a BLIZZARD, but it was still coming down pretty heavily! Both outside and INSIDE the lot -- yeah, the library looks cool, James Turner (formerly known as The Sim Supply), but I think you kinda forgot what happens to places that don’t have full roofs with Seasons. XD Might fix that later. . . Anyway, Smiler went ahead and made a snow angel, then ventured inside to make some new friends. And right off the bat, sitting on the couch and serving as librarian, we had Coty Davidson --

Bonafide werewolf! Yes, it’s not obvious from their Sim form, but when you click on a Sim and it says “Disable Fury Effect,” you kinda know. XD Anyway, having found my werewolf test subject, I had Smiler go up and use their usual “Cheerful Greeting” --

Insta-friends! Now, not insta-GOOD friends, as Smiler often manages with regular Sims, but still instantly friends from one greeting. It appears that the hardcoded hatred between werewolves and vampires is no match for Smiler’s super-friendly nature. XD Smiler chatted with Coty for a good long while, asking a bit about Moonwood Mill (Coty saying that he’s not part of either pack, but he’s thinking about joining one because of all the great perks) and getting to know him better via the medium of Detect Personality (which -- I forgot to write down, darn it. Though I think he had Child of the Island, which is interesting!). They also availed themselves of one of the computers to Troll teh Forums for a little while -- an act which I’m sure the visiting L. Faba would approve of. XD

But hey -- now that Smiler’s made friends, can they actually get Coty to consent to letting them have a drink?
